Walkabout Wednesday: Totals and Progress

I have done better about not only wearing my pedometer but actually remembering to record the results. Yay for me!

February's final total was 93.8 miles. As I said before, that is rather pathetic for a month of walking.

March was better with a total of 119.38, bringing the overall total to 2211.69. That makes me happy!

I have said my farewells to Lake Mead and the Hoover Dam, left the Colorado River Basin and headed out through the desert.

At this point I am less focused on sight-seeing and more focused on making more progress toward New Zealand. The detour up through the Grand Canyon, Lake Mead, and the Dam was huge. I didn't realize how huge until I zoomed out on the map and pinpointed where I had been, where I went and where I am now. I'm glad I made that detour, though.

I passed by Vegas (didn't see the point of stopping there; not my cup of tea) and turned south and west. I walked through a portion of Joshua Tree National Park (more about that in a later post). I'm now just east of the Salton Sea. I plan to swing by The Slabs before turning more west and heading toward the ocean. I think I'll just head west from here, instead of trying to "see" LA. It's interesting with some interesting sights, I'm sure, but I think the beaches (which are really what I'm wanting to see) are probably just as pretty down toward San Diego.

About Me

Married to Mr. Marvelous and Mom to Mr. Marvelous, Jr....that sums it up nicely I think. I live in rural Alabama. I am one of five children, and my parents are still living. Most importantly, I am a child of the Most High God and am redeemed and reconciled to Him through the blood of His Son, Jesus Christ.
